Bulletin Course Description:
“Digital Interactivity” NMA 3012
User input can affect a wide range of new media artworks that may include animation, sound, web projects, and robotics. In this hands-on introduction, students will learn techniques for harnessing analog and digital inputs to create responsive, interactive artworks. Students will explore functional, ethical, and aesthetic frameworks for interactivity; develop skills to conceptualize, code, and craft their own interactive projects; and discover how to apply digital interactivity in engaging, participatory artworks. Through projects, experiments, lectures, readings, and field trips, this course introduces New Media Arts students to programming and microcontrollers; no previous programming experience is necessary. Prerequisite: NMA 2050, Introduction to New Media Arts.
